Sometimes we think we must be growing old. One of those times is that day that comes once in a while when it seems that the county is going to the dogs. Ordinarily we believe that things are all right, and that the country is as well off as could be expected, but there are times when we think about the lack of attendance at church services. Those times we are not so sure. We plead guilty to this failing ourselves, and we know that a constant failure to attend divine worship inevitably leads to a lowering of the spiritual plane, if it is avoidable. As we remember, when we were in about the second or third grade everybody went to Sunday School and church. Now as we go about we note that many people are los ing this wholesome habit. We would like to add our little plea to the many others that people go to church. Not necessarily every time the door is opened, but let church-going be the normal Sunday pro gram, and other things the exception. FAMILY REUNIONS The Gold Leaf Farmer, Wendell, Modern American civilization it seems is leading away from the use of the fam ily as a social unit. There is less and less of that clannishness that made so many families of Scotland famous down the ages. In early American days children grew up around the family farm, bought neighboring lands, and the entire community was more or less of a family affair. Usually there was the kind of cooperation that enrich ed the social life of the state, and made the individual feel himself a part of some thing larger than himself—the family. In recent years this tendency to hold the family together has necessarily grown less. Transportation has made it easy to travel from place to place. A single fam ily of mother, father and five children may be scattered over three or four states. Ev ery neighborhood has been filled up with reople from other communities. This scattering of the family is, it seems, necessary to modern civilization, but we are glad to note an increasing interest in fam ily reunions. In this way, with an annual gathering of the family at some central point we believe that much of the good of close family association may be salvaged. Perhaps again that fierce feeling of family loyalty that has helped many a weak boy to resist temptation may be nourished, and with pride in a large and illustrious family may come again a desire to hold to the fam ily traditions and keep the escutcheon bright.

The Enterprise Now that President Roosevelt's court re form plan has been knifed by the liberty loving few, what have they ,to say about taking the question to the people, who are supposedly the source of power in this democracy? They who so willingly express-\ ed the desire to abide by the will of the peo ple and who were so anxious to let the people reform the court oy constitutional amendment, apparently have forgotten all about the court, and in their muddled minds they entertain a great feeling of satisfac tion that the constitution is safe. The voices of the millions have not reached the ears of those lovers of an out-moded con stitution. If the leaders of this nation, or those occupying the seats, would only wake up, turn off the big main streets and recognize the fact that the wishes and wants of millions are not represented in the syndicated columns of high-salaried | theorists, there would be a new reckoning for them. I Sensing the wishes of the people month# ago., President Roosevelt advanced the program for a needed reform of the judi ciary. Almost everyone agreed that reform was needed, but those who valued liberty for the classes and apparently not for the masses wanted to have reform effected by the amendment process handled by the people. Those who favored the plan appar ently have forgotten all about it, and one has reason to believe that they used the argument to defeat the court plan and that they never had any idea of releasing their hold on government that the common mas ses might express themselves. Mr. Bailey and Mr. Wheeler, the two men who have yelled loudest about dictatorship, should release their hold on the throats of the people and lead the fight to place the supreme court question before the people. And when Mr. Bailey does that, he will have done about the first decent and democratic act since he has been in the United States Senate. Mr. Bailey's record will not support such a democratic step. It is certain that he would even attack such a movement, probably not openly, but in a sneaking anu underhand ed way. LIQUOR AND ITS TRAGIS LESSONS— Liquor has claimed another victim in the Wayne county man who while intoxicated took his own life yesterday in the presence of the girl whom he wanted to marry. The young twenty-eight-year old victim was man enough to lay the blame where it was due to be laid—on drink. Leaving a note for his father in which he said drink was the cause of the fatal act, he even expressed the hope that the tragedy would be a lesson to others. But it will not be a lesson that others will heed. Perhaps not a single person will fling the bottle from thirsty lips because of the suicide of the young man. The tragic results oi; drink—poverty, cruelty, loss of manhood and v/omanhood, even death— are seen on every hand and yet the world drinks on. If by giving one's life, others might be saved from destruction, there would be virtue in the sacrifice; but drink addicts are not scared into reformation. Drunkards do reform but they usu ally do so because of other influences than fear of an untimely fate. Somehow they never think they will come to the same bad end. Increase Shown In Prison Population North Carolina's prison population June 30, at the end of the first six months of the calendar year, wab 9,050, or an increase of 318 over the June 30, 1986 census, W. C. Ezzell, director of the division of institutions and corrections announc es. The report released by the state board of charities and public wel fare goes into all phases of the state's wards and gives little pros pect of any reduction in the state's burden which tends to grow larger with each month. The report also shows that there were on June 30, 1937, a total of 7,072 inmates of mental institutions in the state, as compared to 6,- 608 on June 30, 1936, an increase jf 464.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH "Spirit" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Christian Sci ence churches and societies on Sun day August 8, 1937. The Golden Text was from 1 John 4: 12. 13. "No man hath seen God at any time. . . . Hereby know wo 'that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit." Among the citations which com prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit apd in truth." (John 4, 24) The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passage from _ the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures" by Mary Baker Eddy. "Eye hath neither seen God nor His image and likeness. Neither God nor ttie perfect man can be discerned by rlie material senses. The individuality of Spirit, or the infinite, is unkonwn and thus a knowledge of it is left either to human conjecture or to the revelation of divine Science.
